Airlift (2016)
http://i68.tinypic.com/28m1kqf.jpg This is a magnificent effort by Indian cinema for finding & telling their own "Schindler's List" story. But other than a common businessman turning into an unlikely hero by saving thousands of innocent lives in a horrifying war setting, both Steven Spielberg's Oscar winning SCHINDLER'S LIST and Raja Menon's AIRLIFT basically have only one thing in common...the triumph of human spirit; a selfless individual's exemplary initiatives to come forward & rise to the occasion for the greatest cause of all during a very difficult time of war. Ironically both the films inspired by two separate true events and this tells us again that history not only repeat itself through bloody wars & countless human sufferings but also it recalls the very basic core of humanity as long as there are saviors like Oskar Schindler or Mathews & Vedi (inspired the character of Ranjit Katiyal in Airlift). >>: A- |

Working my way through the World section of Hoopla
Black Coal, Thin Ice - 6/10 liked the mystery part, hated the relationship stuff Rigor Mortis - 8/10 great ending, even if it wasn't original Arcana - 9/10 really surprising Exit No. 6 - 6/10 didn't care for the ending of this one either Howling - 9/10 good doggie Coffin - 6/10 waste of time Pulse - 8/10 much better than the US remake Shutter - 9/10 liked the US remake as well |
 "The Tag-along" 7/10 If I didn't knew any better I would've thought this movie was about the Suicide Forest in Japan. It was alright. |

(1999) Ring 2 6,5/10
The two creepiest scenes were the "video erasing" and "mirror" ones. |
THE COMPLEX 2013
A young woman and her family move to an apartment complex. Her personal life as well as her family starts to unravel before her eyes after she discovers the body of elderly neighbor. And there's also a strange little boy she befriends... A little dull and really nothing too terrifying. |
